Deer Life
A humorously dark fairy tale of witchcraft, bullying, revenge, and a mysterious bowler hat.

Praise for this book
Sexsmith's novel has much the same effect as his music, conveying uncertainty with fearlessness and heart.
It's a bit Disney and a bit Dickens, and in the end, love conquers all.
Written in jaunty prose that Neil Gaiman, Erin Morgenstern and Audrey Niffenegger fans will admire.
Deer Life is a charming tale with a lot of heart.
There's a sort of musical quality to Ron's writing.
Full of mischief, magic, heroes, villains and the kind of lyricism you would expect to find from Sexsmith's writing.
Whimsical, absurd, and entertaining indeed!
A brilliant fairy tale that begs to be read.
Simple, magical and entrancing
A tale that will entertain, amuse, and, yes, even educate. No small accomplishment for a writer.
